MUMBAI: Chef David Rocco?s food and lifestyle programming continues to grow. Breakthrough Entertainment has presold the celebrity chef?s newest lifestyle/reality series ?David Rocco?s Dolce India? to National Geographic Channels International (NGCI).

The series will premiere on NGCI?s Nat Geo Adventure channel in Australia, Asia, Italy, Turkey, Israel, Malta, and Greece.

A follow-up to the ?David Rocco?s Dolce Vita? and ?David Rocco?s Amalfi Getaway?, the Rockhead Entertainment-produced series now takes its star chef to India, where he will be a fish-out-of-water in a land he has never visited. Equipped with his Italian sensibilities, he embarks on a quest to challenge himself - and those daring enough to taste his fusion creations - by melding ingredients and techniques from his beloved Italy, with those he has never experienced before.

He is determined to raise the bar on his knowledge and expand his repertoire. With his reputation at stake and the potential for immediate failure in every episode, the obstacles David must overcome are greater than he has ever faced as a chef.

Breakthrough president of distribution Nat Abraham said, "What more ingredients can be asked for when an internationally renowned chef serves as our culinary and cultural tour guide through one of the world?s most exotic locations? As we?ve come to expect from him, David ups the ante by testing his skills to the limit. We?re thrilled to have National Geographic Channels International on board as a partner on this compelling new series."

MUMBAI: Lobster Truffle Ravioli with a glass of Chardonnay, followed by flamb?ed Crepe Suzette are some of the gourmet dishes that lifestyle channel Fox Traveller will showcase through its two new shows that focus on culinary delights from Italy and France.

The fourth season of ?David Rocco?s Dolce Vita? and ?French Food Safari? air weeknights at 9 pm.

Maeve O Meara, along with Chef Guillaume Bhrahimi, open doors to French delicacies with ?French Food Safari?. The show will walk you through the essentials of French food - from fresh salads to classic French pastries and magnificent desserts, Meave and Guillaume will wow you with the best of French cuisine.

Soon after the fourth season, ?David Rocco?s Dolce Vita? takes centre stage as he explores the secrets of hearty Italian cooking. In the new season, the show takes viewers to the Tuscan countryside. David and his wife Nina prepare everything from lavish Italian feasts to simple homemade recipes. The gastronomic journey includes everything from bread, pastas, pizzaz, soups and sauces.
